Replacing many light and medium tanks in Red Army service, it was the most-produced tank of the war, as well as the second most-produced tank of all time (after its successor, the T-54/T-55 series). [10] With 44,900 lost during the war, it also suffered the most tank losses ever. [11] Its development led directly to the T-44, then the T-54 and T-55 series of tanks, which in turn evolved into the later T-62, that form the armoured core of many modern armies. T-34 variants were widely exported after World War II, and as recently as 2010 more than 130 were still in service. [12] Development and production OriginsThe T-34-85 gave the Red Army a tank with better armour and mobility than the German Panzer IV tank and StuG III assault gun. While it could not match the armour or weapons of the heavier Panther and Tiger tanks, its improved firepower made it much more effective than earlier models, and overall it was more cost-effective than the heaviest German tanks. In comparison with the T-34-85 program, the Germans instead chose an upgrade path based on the introduction of completely new, expensive, heavier, and more complex tanks, greatly slowing the growth of their tank production and helping the Soviets to maintain a substantial numerical superiority in tanks. [125] By May 1944, T-34-85 production had reached 1,200 tanks per month. [126] In the entire war, production figures for all Panther types reached no more than 6,557, and for all Tiger types (including the TigerI and Tiger II) 2,027. [127] Production figures for the T-34-85 alone reached 22,559. [ citation needed] T-34/85 – Medium Tank – History, Specs and Pictures – Military Tanks, Vehicles and Artillery".
